identical shoes on Amazon so I ordered. Shoddy, cheap, horrible. Returned them, no problem, to Amazon.

like about 45 minutes ago. I figured they were like overstock or liquidators. Price was right, $6.00 for 100 ft of lites with solar collector so I'm going to hold judgement until after May 7 which is when the lites should be delivered.

I'm on of the last people in the world without a smart phone or tablet, just a flip phone so I don't download "apps"..

items I see is only on their commercials. It is cheap, but I wonder if the items are poorly made. I get some catalogues that have some crap items in it. The pictures are cute, but you don't know if they are crap until you get them.

6 bucks can be lost without too much pain. If they work for 30 days or more I'll be thinking I got my moneys' worth.

and I have been pleased with everything I have bought from there. My favorites so far are the hummingbird houses, they are beautifully made. I've ordered three tops from there and the fit and quality are what you would buy at Walmart.

now when it shows up on my FB page I will click through it. They have a lot more categories than that. I open it on my laptop and look through all the categories. Like I said, I have been satisfied with everything I have bought from it.

Thinking it would be the leather one in the photo. When it arrived, she was horrified to see it was fake leather and shoddy. She decided to cancel her credit card and get a new one in the event it was used by someone else. Turns out someone did and the credit card company notified her of a fraudulent charge.

I play games and often see ads for Temu. No thank you.
